Joseph F. Seisser 1926-2006

Exactly one year ago today my Dad passed
away from this world.
He was a man of faith, and he was ready to
go meet his beloved. He suffered
very much in the last few years. We were
prepared for his death in that we
did not want him to suffer anymore, but we
were not prepared for the tremendous
hole that has been left in our lives.

My father and mother were married for 51 years.
Although my mother is not a particularly
emotional woman, I have seen her walk around
all year as though she has lost a limb.
How do let go of your best friend of 51 years?


For my Mom:


Your Long Journey 
written by Doc Watson and Rosa Lee Watson


God's given us years of happiness here

Now we must part

And as the angels come and call for you

The pains of grief tugs at my heart


Oh my darling

My darling
           
My heart breaks as you take your long journey


Oh the days will be empty

The nights so long without you my love
         
And when God calls for you I'm left alone

But we will meet in heaven above


Oh my darling

My darling
            
My heart breaks as you take your long journey

         
Fond memories I'll keep of happy ways

That on earth we trod

And when I come we will walk hand in hand

As one in Heaven in the family of God


Oh my darling

My darling
                           
My heart breaks as you take your long journey
